I, too, am extremely disappointed with the answer. The CE supervisors have experienced incredible frustration with the extreme slowness in resolving this situation. They have been extremely frustrated with the time taken to get the high level forum up and running. I understand that the forum met only four times since it was established in 2015. As the Minister is aware, another meeting of the forum will be held on 2 November. It is essential that a clear pathway is identified to finally recognise the Labour Court's recommendation that an agreed pension scheme, which would be funded by the recognised funding agency, should be introduced for the supervisors and assistant supervisors. It is ironic that the Government, which on numerous occasions has laid great store in the need for unions to accept and adhere to Labour Court recommendations, is itself refusing to commit to implementing this particular recommendation.
